BEFORE OPENING A PROJECT​

overview_before

At Virtual Bench's start page (accessible at sim4sys.com) you will find all the projects you have access to. They will be classified according to your role in them : owner, contributor or guest.

  • Guest : you can only play scenarios and can't edit them.
  • Contributor : you can create new scenarios and edit them.
  • Owner : you can change the role of each member of a project, edit and delete any scenario.

The main page displays the list of public projects. A user is considered a guest in a public project if he is not an owner or contributor.

Project Management Features​

The start page provides several tools for managing your projects:

  • Search Bar: Use the "Search projects..." field to quickly find projects by name
  • Project Filtering Tabs: Filter projects by category:
    • Recent: Shows your recently accessed projects
    • As owner: Displays all projects where you are the owner
    • As contributor: Shows projects where you are a contributor
    • As guest: Lists projects where you have guest access
    • Public: Displays all public projects
    • All: Shows all projects you have access to
  • New Project Button: Create a new project directly from the start page
  • Navigation Links: Access Documentation, Release Notes, and Downloads from the header

From this page you can also create new issues that will be treated:

After you clicked the "create issue" button you will be able to report an issue or any improvement ideas.
